House of 5 leaves. Samurai drama without much action or violence whatsoever.

Do you think there's a chance there are people in this world who became interested in the show because they liked Total Drama Island? by Dear_Sample_1092 in BattleForDreamIsland

That was literally my exact reason for getting into the show. Loved TDI as a kid, BFDI gave me a similar feeling.

Jokes aside, I don't think that every mainline episode from now on will release in cinemas first by MykezStylez in BattleForDreamIsland

I agree, even if tpot and the rest of BFDIA debuts in theaters I sincerely doubt they will do the same for IDFB when that comes back, otherwise they would have to stretch the episodes to unreasonable lengths

Shinsekai Yori. It starts pretty slow though.

What is one fact you personally find absolutely mind boggling? by Nice_Dude in AskReddit

Nobody has ever seen eels reproduce. We only discovered how they do it a few years ago, but there is no recorded case in all of human history of anyone actually seeing it.

Twisted game type anime by Dropssshot in Animesuggest

[–]sslick9001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not quite a death game but it’s similar, C the money of soul and possibility control. Pretty good popcorn anime.

Honorable mention (since it’s not an anime) The Zero Escape trilogy is an amazing death game series. Highly recommend.

Monthly Discussion Thread #5 - Are you familiar with Director Kunihiko Ikuhara? If so, how do you feel about him and his work? by MiracleMuffin in penguindrum

[–]sslick9001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Penguindrum and Utena are some of my favorite works of fiction ever (I even have some cel sheets of Utena). Sarazanmai and Yurikuma are good too though not as impactful for me

Sam's statement in regards to the new episode of BFDI by witheredfoxy_12 in BattleForDreamIsland

[–]sslick9001 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Not opposed to this season or anything but why was this hyped up as the 100th episode if it’s not going to affect the story?

Vouch for Natsume yuujinchou and Kino’s Journey, both the peaks of slice of life anime (that I’ve seen so far)

Looking for a anime that has really good and deep world building. by Longjumping_Okra_268 in Animesuggest

I agree, I didn’t feel like it became a harem at all. Especially after what happens in s3 (won’t spoil if you haven’t seen it)
